” The Icom IC-7200 HF DSP Transceiver is back in production once again (at least for now). Unknown if any part \/ design changes had to be made to make this possible ? Let’s hope they are using better quality Chinese fans ?? We TRIED 2 brand new samples near the end of the last run and it’s internal “Dual Mini Chinese Fans” BOTH squealed like a pig.[…]”<\/p>\n

See my news page for the latest info on this (among other latest happenings including a bit more on the Sangean 909X saga).<\/p>\n

Thank you, Dave, for the tip!<\/p>\n

I believe the Icom IC-7200 has one of the best\u00a0general coverage receivers on the market under $1000. I pointed this out\u00a0in my General Coverage Transceiver review from 2014<\/a>. I should hope that ham radio clubs might take note about the re-introduction of the IC-7200<\/a> and consider purchasing it over the less expensive IC-718<\/a> for Field Day or club station use. I’m no fan of the IC-718<\/a> as it’s a miserable performer in RF-rich environments like Field Day and radio contests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
